It's been over 10 years since a UFC card was held in Japan, and
UFC 144 marks the return with a slew of fights, including Frankie Edgar defending his Lightweight Championship against Ben Henderson.
Head over to Bovada for all the
UFC betting lines for this week's event.
Edgar won the title at UFC 112 and has retained the title through three defenses, winning two with a draw. His toughest challenge yet comes in the larger Henderson, who has won his last three bouts by unanimous decisions, including Fight of the Night against Clay Guida on Nov. 12. Edgar is a -130 favorite at the Bovada sportsbook.
In another headline event, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson battles Ryan Bader. Jackson's trying to show that he still has something to prove, while Bader's just trying to prove he can handle the big boys. Despite that, the edge goes to Jackson, whose betting line is -260.
